Have you ever strolled through Harajuku and found yourself craving one of those picture-perfect crepes that everyone seems to be enjoying? They look amazing—overflowing with cream, ice cream, and all sorts of sweet toppings.
But if you’re vegan, or if you have allergies to milk, eggs, or gluten, that craving can quickly turn into frustration. Most crepes are off the table, literally.
The good news? You don’t have to miss out completely. While Harajuku might not have a vegan-friendly option yet, there’s a little gem not too far away: NagiCrepe in Togoshi Ginza, near Gotanda Station. And yes, they’ve got delicious crepes—vegan and allergy-friendly ones included.
About NagiCrepe
NagiCrepe is a cozy little crepe shop that offers completely dairy-, egg-, and gluten-free crepes. With the exception of a few savory options, nearly all of their crepes are fully vegan. The portions are generous, and at around ¥600–¥700, the prices are quite reasonable—especially compared to other vegan crepes in Tokyo.
The menu includes a wide variety of flavors, from simple classics like strawberry, choco banana, and chocolate, to more unique Japanese-style options featuring ingredients like red bean paste, matcha, and mochi. They even have special flavors like cookies and cream!
You can customize your crepe by adding vegan ice cream, sauces, warabi mochi, anko (red bean paste), kinako (roasted soybean flour), or nuts. You also have the option to swap the whipped cream for custard—though do note that the custard is marked as containing milk and gluten, so please double-check if you’re vegan or have allergies.
There are also a few featured “special” crepes, such as Double Strawberry, Cookie Crunch & Chocolate, or Mango Coconut. These are the only items with photos on the menu and come with suggested toppings to enhance your order!
One fun touch: the shop displays a ranking of their top 12 most popular flavors, which I thought was a nice detail and could help if you’re unsure what to try.
You can eat inside, although space is very limited—there are only about 3 to 4 seats and no tables. There are, however, two benches just outside the store where you can enjoy your crepe.
Once you place your order, you’ll receive a numbered receipt. Your number will be called when your crepe is ready for pickup.
If you plan to visit more than once, I definitely recommend picking up a stamp card! Once it’s full, you’ll get 50% off one crepe—a great little reward for treating yourself.
Flavours I tried
I visited Nagi Crepe twice. The first time, my friend and I had such a hard time choosing—everything on the menu sounded so delicious. In the end, we each got two crepes!
They were absolutely amazing, and trying multiple flavors was fun, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend getting two at once unless you’re really hungry. Each crepe is quite large and very filling, especially with all the rich whipped cream. The second time I went I only got one.
Strawberry Special
This crepe was packed with rich whipped cream, a generous drizzle of strawberry sauce, and a big helping of fresh, sweet strawberry slices. To top it off, it came with a scoop of refreshing strawberry sorbet. It was super fruity, creamy, and refreshing—so delicious!
The crepe itself is made with a blend of oatmeal and rice flour, giving it a slightly chewy, satisfying texture.
Japanese Special
This one featured a variety of traditional Japanese sweets inside. In addition to the whipped cream, it had fluffy matcha cream, soft warabi mochi, sweet anko (red bean paste), kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup), and kinako (roasted soybean flour).
As someone who loves warabi mochi and anko, this crepe was a dream come true! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect—soft, chewy, smooth, and just sweet enough. I also added a scoop of matcha ice cream on top, which made it even better.
Cookie Crunch & Chocolate
This crepe was another favorite! It had crispy cookie chunks and rich chocolate syrup, which made for a great contrast in textures. I think it may have had even more cream than the others, which I didn’t mind at all. If you're a fan of chocolate and crunchy toppings, this one’s for you.

What is Veganism?
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.“
- The Vegan Society
Reasons to choose vegan alternatives:
Protect animals from suffering horrendously and getting killed
A whole-food plant-based vegan diet has the least environmental impact
A whole-food plant-based vegan diet is extremely healthy and can help reversing various diseases like type 2 diabetes or heart diseases.
For people, as a vegan diet requires only one third of the land needed to support a meat and dairy diet.
